Ramdam ko ang ASENSO ko! (I can feel my progress/fruition)

The tag line I used in one of the commercial of Philippine Information Agency (PIA). A friend of mine referred me to PIA to do this commercial; at first I was hesitant since this is a government move. But on the contrary I thought of why not doing this commercial… so people will have a chance to see the opportunities that we have around now as compare before. Another thought that comes into my mind when I did that PIA commercial is that, I want something positive things being aired in national television, being an optimist… I want for the people to see that there are also some progress happening in our country may it small or big opportunities…So, I finally say yes to do the commercial. Whew…friends calling and texting me, asking if I did a commercial or that I'm working in one of the TV station hehehe :) Well, It was just a 30 minute kinda shoot and they've got some of the catchy lines that I said on that interview….and it was only played seconds on air…which is for me nothing is so fancy about what I said on the interview it was a candid experience that I’ve been through …friends and families can attest to that…:)

Here’s my 2 cents worth, doing that TV ad. Comparing the opportunities before in the Philippines, we have more opportunities now. I’m talking about the boom of the IT industry and business outsourcing in the Philippines. There are job opportunities now in some provinces as opposed to jobs just being available in the Metropolitan area. People living in the provinces can work now in some companies that have the same standards that are in the metro. Hey, I’m not in some ways working for the government either, this is just my own way of sharing some of the blessings I have experience to everyone. I’m not a millionaire either…:) I’m just happy of the little things that are happening in my life and have accomplished so far. Having that mindset makes me more appreciative of life in general. So, all of us have the chance to feel any “ASENSO” (progress) may it be small or big, the thing is it's up to us on how we count our blessings. It's our choice to act on every opportunity that comes our way. :)

One more thing, On a personal note, sshh! I was also curious about how it feels to be in the TV even for seconds and media ad really works. :)

So, let’s begin writing down your small and big “ASENSO” ….

Here’s a clip of that commercial ….sorry it's not my version, can’t find my copy. :) I’ll try to find one.

Busy days...means busyness or business?!

Let's see if my busyness is equal to business. Whatever it takes, busy for me is something to be thankful. :) Wondering why? ... if we have something to do, that means we're not idle or lazy. An opportunity for us to keep moving. But for some busy for them is just an excuse to something, like not calling a loved one, friend or a missed occasion. :) Let me recall how's my "busyness" for the past weeks. Had a great time in Ohio, what a long drive!, long drive is sometimes great if you're just the passenger lol! You have time to look around, think while napping ( how's is it possible? lol) well, it's possible for me...it's just like day dreaming! :). A time to appreciate the quietness of the green surroundings that we passed by and just merely a get away. My online course in Open Education is almost over. Collaborating with people around the globe with same interest is amazing. Exploring the many possibilities of this new learning culture. Defi...

A crave for Tsokolate eh ...!

The other day I was craving for a hot chocolate...well maybe because of the cold weather. But I was craving for not just a hot chocolate. I want something that I used to have back in the Philippines...we call it Tsokolate eh ... wait how are you going to pronounce it ...it should be like this cho-koh-la-teh-eh!...i put the exclamation so you have an accent on the eh!...:) It's a Filipino thick hot chocolate, very similar to the signature hot chocolate of Starbucks. But of course it's way cheaper than a Starbucks hot chocolate. :) Tsokolate eh! is made up of tabrilya (tab-rillia)it's a cacao balls. But it's basically from a cacao fruit. It comes in different shapes but rounded tabrilya is the most common. :) There's a traditional way of doing this ...like before they use a beater for this called "batidor", but I don't use that anymore I just let it boil and use a regular spoon to beat it.:) Simplier but of course it taste better if it's done the...

Valentine's Day...

Many says that it's an over rated celebration...I can't understand why they seems to be bitter about celebrating this. For one this is not just about romantic celebration. For me it's a chance for us to at least celebrate love ...lavishly for a day...though we can show it everyday!!! and it's not all about romantic love...it's for everyone with someone special, family or friends. So, no matter what is your ideology or perspective on Valentines day ... whether it's on roses or chocolates...though me I still prefer flowers over chocolate...they're just beautiful as it is. ;) it's all about showing your love to your love ones that counts. Happy Valentine's Day to all!!! Let me share this nice note on Love...from Kurt Nerburn: "Letters To My Son" It's a bit long but worth reading. "It is a mystery why we fall in love. It is a mystery how it happens. It is a mystery when it comes. It is a mystery why some love grows and it is a mys...
